[Leica] Question about film

[sdsender at yahoo.com (Stuart Sender)]

I have the same camera and it is great fun to use, especially with slide 
film.  Since there is no meter, ignore the instructions; however, you will 
likely want to stay away from fast film (ISO 400 and above) unless you are 
working only indoors or want to use twin ND filters.  The limitation on top 
shutter speed makes it impossible to expose correctly in bright sunlight if 
you use fast film, and the highlights will be washed out.
